Agri-Waste and Microbes for Production of Sustainable Nanomaterials
Agriculture remains a key element in economic stability, yet modern practices significantly impact environmental health. With the global population rising and natural resources depleting, sustainable methods like organic farming and nanotechnology are gaining prominence. Organic farming enhances biodiversity, soil health, and maintains ecological balance, while nano-materials provide novel approaches to address the disadvantages projected by conventional agricultural techniques. The combination of nanotechnology and organic farming has great potential to tackle worldwide challenges like food security, soil degradation, and climate change as research advances, ultimately opening the door to a more resilient and ecologically cognizant agricultural future. Nanoparticles, as a consequence of their unique physicochemical attributes, are increasingly used in nano enabled fertilizers and pesticides to boost farm productivity, nutrient absorption, and stress tolerance. Utilizing plant extracts, green production of nanoparticles ensures an environmentally sound and long-term viable alternative to traditional chemical methods, reducing environmental and health risks. Nanotechnology’s applications are also pivotal in improving soil management and remediation by mitigating pollution and improving soil quality. When responsibly integrated, nanotechnology and green synthesis hold enormous promise for advancing sustainable agricultural practices.
